Inspiration: Yellow Bedroom

Yesterday, we blogged gray bedrooms, the color of our own restful space. But this week, while house sitting for a friend, we're staying in a room on the other side of the color spectrum.

We love yellow in other rooms, where its perkiness is a background for lively conversations, but in a bedroom? We were worried. A week in and we're in love. What makes the look work in a bedroom is keeping the competition from the other furnishings and accessories low. Here dark wood furniture, white bedding, the dark striped curtains and a minimum of strong, scuptural accessories balance out, and keep the focus on, the strong wall color.
